Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Spitting up is a normal phenomenon in infants. This is because the stomach of an infant is in a horizontal position and underdeveloped, coupled with a small stomach capacity, making it easy for them to spit up. It is recommended that the baby should not be overfed each time, and after feeding, it is essential to stand up and pat their back to expel the air swallowed into the stomach. Also, it is best to avoid vigorous activities for the baby after they are full, as this can help reduce the occurrence of spitting up. If the baby spits up significantly and there is no noticeable weight gain, it is advisable to suspect whether the child may have hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. It is also necessary to seek medical attention if the symptoms of vomiting are particularly unusual.
